Cover-up (tattoo)

A tattoo cover-up is one of two options for dealing with an unwanted tattoo, the other being removal.^[1] Covering up an unwanted tattoo is the cheaper option.

Cover-ups may completely hide the old tattoo with a new design, or may incorporate elements or the whole of the existing tattoo.

Poorly applied, very faded or very light tattoos are the easiest to cover.

White ink may be applied to lighten the old tattoo before proceeding with the cover-up.
